Q.How many bags of Hemp do I need for a 12" thick Hempcrete wall ?A.Calculate length of wall x Height of wall = total square footage. Now divide by 4.5 to get number of 15 kg (33 lbs) bags of hemp you'll need for a 12" thick wall.

Q.How many people do I need to install Hemp on site for either a new build or retrofit project ?A.5-6 with enthusiasm !!!

A tonne of Hempcrete is estimated to absorb and sequester an additional net ~249 kg of CO2 over 100 years.

CO2 sequestration - Hempcrete is a carbon sink with a low carbon footprint. With 80-90% of Hempcrete composition as hemp shiv, the majority of CO2 sequestered by Hempcrete is in the hemp growth with the remainder absorbed in the process of “carbonation”. This is the process where the lime-based binder absorbs carbon from the air continuously over time, petrifying the hemp shiv.

Hemp Technologies assumes no liability from those who decide to mix and use DIY “Hempcrete” binders. Customers should consult local building permitting offices and/or use a licensed general contractor, architect, and/or engineer for all construction projects."
